Welcome back. It's Beyond the Box Score. I'm Dan Schneier. That's Jacob Gibbs. And we have officially

reached playoff week for your fantasy football squads. Week 14 was a snooze fest in a lot of my

leagues. Some of the most interesting scenarios I saw play out, Jacob, were some of the top scoring teams in my league from a point standpoint, had some of the worst weeks in week 14. So I think the buys played a role in that, some of the higher scoring teams, but we're through the buys now. We're into the playoffs. I'm very excited to talk about full slate rosters with you. Just really excited about these playoff matchups we have ahead and some of the players who

will lead us there and take us there, some late season breakouts.

The comment section is already ripping and roaring.

I'm never late just early or never wrong, just early, I should say.

And that's what we'll be talking about today with RJ Harvey Harvey, one of our preseason

boys who may end up helping you win your league, like after considering him a boss. So I'm excited to talk about a lot of players today, Jacob. How are you doing? I'm great, man. Yeah. You say, no, we're through by season, but we're not through first round by the fantasy playoff season. That's where I'm at, baby. we've officially arrived at you know complain about our awful luck you know i feel like in every league chat

there's there's one person who's pointing out that they should have had a better year, but they didn't or whatever. They had so many points scored against them. I was actually third in points. Somehow, I'm like, sorry. I don't know what you want us to do. It's fantasy football. Well, that happened in my home league, too.

One thing you can do is Apex scoring.

I really am a strong believer in that. You have to use Apex scoring. Yeah. But I mean, like, it's just like you're going to be able to find a bad beat probably if you're concerned with that aspect of it. like even in leagues with median scoring

I've got teams where just barely

missed out. I missed out in two first round by

is this on, of it. Like even in leagues with median scoring, I've got teams where just barely missed out. I

missed out in two first round buys this week 14 by one by five points, one by half of a point.

And so it's like, that's irritating. But I also like secured a first round by by three points.

And the only reason I secured that first round by was because my brother started Josh Downs.

I didn't want to start Josh Downs.

We were kind of desperate to receiver at this third receiver spot. I look at the lineup Sunday at, you know, 30 minutes after game start. I'm like, why is Josh Downs in, bro? And he's like, I don't know. I'm like, what do you mean you don't know? he's like yeah i don't remember doing that and i who i was going

to start got zero points romeo dobs like so yeah it ended up so it was one of those you

checked and was too late to change the only reason the only reason we secured the first round by

was complete randomness like he we accidentally had a guy and that nobody knows how he got in
